"ESB: Provides all kind of possibilities to resolve business needs. A lot of ready to use services plus custom Java services. I used a lot of them all."
"Facilitates communication between parties and legacy systems."
"The most valuable features of the IBM Integration Bus are flexibility. It's also an alternative for integrating it with other projects, which we are not ready at this time to do, such as switching to tunnels. The tunnels would be used with other partners to make sure everything is secured."
"The message queue feature is very valuable."
"The product is a user-customized tool so that you can adjust it to your specific needs pretty well with little trouble."
"The biggest advantage of this solution is that it is very easy to learn, and very easy to build applications."
"Web interface, REST API for viewing services, admin, stats, and deployment are premium features, which makes IIB stand among its competition."
"The most valuable feature is the security."
"I consider the solution to be one of the most stable in the market."
"The architecture based on events has several connectors which allow integration from external and internal applications of the company."
"The setup is straightforward."
"Once it is started, we don't see any problems on a day to day basis."
"Scalability and load balancing."
"Mule Expression Language"
"The solution offers multiple deployment options."
"We can use Java expressions anywhere in the flow."
"Easy connectivity and easy integration."
"Aurea CX Messenger could improve by making better use of the new APIs"
"I don't know if the last version has the cloud option, but maybe that could be good. That could be something that is included."
"The improvement is that it should be on the cloud and use web services."
"You should not hurry with upgrades without testing the whole product completely."
"It should include/add more services with the product as per market demand. It should include custom Java services developed by any organization or provide a platform where users/developers can share ideas/custom services, etc."
"The solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API."
"IBM Integration Bus could improve by having a more lightweight installation. Additionally, automation could improve."
"The solution is complex and there is a need for more resources and greatly improved quality."
"The performance needs to be enhanced when working with the Toolkit."
"IBM does not support orchestration, which is how they designed it, and other BPM tools in the market support orchestration. If they merged the BPM capability into this product, then it would be a better solution."

"We used a third-party vendor, who help us install the solution and it was not easy."
"IBM Integration Bus isn't particularly user-friendly and has a big learning curve."
"In order to meet the new trend of active metadata management, we need intelligent APIs that can retrieve new data designs and trigger actions over new findings without human intervention."

"In an upcoming release, I would like to see more additional concept for exception handling, batch processing, and increased integration with other application."
"Lacking some connectors that could be included."

"Community editions need more attention."
"The payment system needs improvement."
